October 2004
Logan, Kendall and Carlos had ended up in the same homeroom and reading classes. Lucky for them, they fell into the J through Q last name group. They'd been in school for a few weeks and Carlos had grown fond of Logan. They'd all pushed their desks into a litle square of four. Leaving them with an empty desk that Carlos threw his trash in when he was too lazy to get up. They mostly used it as extra storage for their own stuff.
About a month into school, they'd gotten a new student. His name was James Diamond. He was tall, slightly pudgy, and had dark brown hair that covered his eyes. He sat with the three, at the empty desk that Carlos spent a whole recess cleaning out. James had stayed behind to help him.
"I'm Carlos." He smiled up at the boy as he pulled out a twinkie wrapper and threw it behind him in the trashcan. "I sit there." He pointed to his desk. "Logan sits there, and Kendall sits there."
The boy nodded and continued to pull the trash out of the desk. "Do you talk?" Carlos blurted out. It was a thought that hadn't quite made it through the filer before it'd slipped out of his mouth.
"I like you." James laughed. Carlos liked James too. He seemed nice, and he had really chubby, red cheeks. Like Santa, Carlos thought. He knew that he'd be a great addition to his group of friends.
December 2004
Logan, Kendall and James were all sleeping over Carlos' hosue. Kendall had helped them set up their usual tent, and they watched Disney movies on Carlos' tv.
"I'm tired." Kendall yawned. He curled up into his Finding Nemo sleeping bag and turned over. "Night Logan. Night James. Night Carly."
"Night, Kenny. Love you." Carlos was content with the muffled "Love you, too." he heard come from Kendall's direction. He snuggled himself between his sheets and drifted off to sleep.
In the morning, everyone had been picked up but Logan. The two were out back, playing with Sparky when Logan's curiousity got the best of him.
"Carlos, don't you think it's a little girly that you and Kendall tell each other you love each other?" Carlos just shook his head and continued to rub Sparky's belly. "Not even a little?"
"Nope. Kenny's my best friend and I love him, what's girly about that?"
I know, it's really short but I promise that there's a much much much longer chapter coming up soon. Soon might mean later today :)
